This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Why? by Dutch
I'm no audiophile, but I've heard that a lot of the new pressings are pretty low quality. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but contemporary music is being recorded in digital format, not analog. As a result, the true analog sound of old vinyl can't be replicated in the source is digital. What am I missing?
As an aside, I have all of the original Queen studio albums made while Freddie was alive on vinyl. They are not first pressings, but the quality is good and not remastered. A friend recently got into Queen after seeing the movie and played some of the remastered songs over Spotify for me. Many of them sounded very different from the LP versions. Why do record labels feel the need to constantly "remaster" as opposed to letting the original piece of art stand on its own?
